Review on ๐Ÿ”ด Kanto YU6 Powered Speakers: Bluetooth, Phono Preamp, Gloss Red - Pair by John Reese

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Clear sound, beautiful looks

We were looking for an attractive speaker set for our family TV with great sound and they fit the bill. My TV speakers were average and we tried an inexpensive soundbar, but it took up too much space and the sound wasn't great. We needed an upgrade and there's no substitute for good speakers with good stereo separation. We also looked for a way to minimize the number of cables (they can't be buried in the wall here) and with this setup we have - 1 cable to connect the left speaker to the right speaker - 1 optical cable from TV to left speaker - 1 power wire from left speaker to outlet and that's it. If you're a music lover like me, you should know what to expect from speakers in this price range and they live up to it. Unless you're a music lover and don't care much about sound quality, you probably don't need such good speakers. via an optical cable from the TV to the speakers. The sound is great, more than loud enough for any use we might have. Clean sound stage, lots of details. I've listened carefully to classical, prog rock, post rock, pop and some older rock and they all sound like they should. I've also used a Bluetooth connection, which is perfectly fine up to 10m (30ft). Are they as good as $1,000 speakers? No of course not. Are they really good for the price? Yes. There is nothing about them not to like.

Had hum issues and a bad woofer, Kanto exchanged a new pair and these work much better.

Loud speakers, great electronics, disappointing sound quality
